It'll come around as it runs it's course. Bull shi

It'll come around as it runs it's course. Bull shitters will leverage whatever they can to paint it dangerous. Most of the vitamins we take now were on the market long before FDA accredited labs completed enough clinical testing to satisfactorily answer even a fraction of the "what if's" listed in that article.

On those vitamin supplements, as with various weight loss supplements, the FDA requires a warning be added to the labeling that states the supplements haven't been FDA tested, and any claims are therefore unverified, even though they very well may have been verified in independent clinical trials.

Many vitamins that are very good for you in the proper doses do not specify just how dangerous they can be if doses much higher than the recommended dosage are taken, especially on a prolonged basis.

Some vitamins are actually quite dangerous if taken irresponsibly and can even lead to severe illness and death. This clearly is NOT, however, justification for prohibiting the right of consumers to responsibly consume these vitamins due to lack of testing by the FDA, UNLESS there is sufficient evidence to support serious concern for damage to internal organs or death at higher than recommended doses but with doses highly likely to occur.

Even Tylenol, which seemed to most to be very safe and in wide usage for years, has hidden dangers. With very few scary stories in the news about the product, many people could've easily overlooked the warning about ingesting Tylenol after consuming alcohol. How much of each surely varies from person to person, but you need not take much more than the recommended dosage of Tylenol after drinking alcohol "liberally", and if one's head is pounding, the probability that many will do exactly that is highly likely. So is permanent liver damage.

That warning never made it on the bottle prior to it being contested, and it was proven that they knew of the issue. Unfortunately the manufacturer didn't "feel" it was necessary. They merely fell back on "well, people shouldn't take more than the recommended dosage". It was well known however, that people regularly took higher doses when sober, so they never suspected that mixing with alcohol could have such sever consequences. They felt it would hurt sales to post the warning on the bottle. Nevertheless, Tylenol was not pulled from the market that I can remember.

Many nutraceutical products not tested by the FDA carry their "disclaimer" stating that claims made by those marketing the product have not been substantiated. Again, that doesn't mean their hasn't been considerable clinical testing done, just not FDA accredited testing. I have to reiterate though, the fact that some well known vitamins can harm or even kill you. They recommend what you should take on a daily basis, but leave it up to the consumer to research further to find out just how dangerous higher doses can be.

Well, 'what if" a person eats 1000 mg. of CBD oil, coats their entire body in CBD oil, then wraps themselves in plastic wrap for 12 hours? Might not be good. But how many people do you think will do that? My guess is NOT MANY, even IF they can afford to do it! lol

The fear mongering to try and slow the progress is ridiculous. There will be irrational pockets of resistance to all forms of cannabis reform for some time yet because of big pharma planting misinformation, and just good ole ignorance, but they won't stop the facts from coming out. It's too late for that, and with so much capital hanging in the balance, the FDA will expedite the research.
